(Verse 1 – gentle and reverent)
Before I knew the sound of grace
You wrote my name upon the page
Of mercy flowing from the cross
Where love paid every debt and cost
You saw the world in all its shame
And still You chose to take the blame
You didn’t have to, but You came
To save a heart that turned away
⸻
(Chorus – soaring and emotional)
For God so loved the world, He gave
His only Son to light the way
That I might live and never die
A holy love, a sacrifice
You didn’t wait for me to run
You called me home through Your Son
And I’m alive because of love—
The kind that only comes from God
⸻
(Verse 2 – more confident, filled with gratitude)
I see the cross and I see grace
Your open arms, my hiding place
You made a way where none could be
So I could stand here, fully free
You didn’t come to point the blame
You came to heal the world You made
To trade Your life to rescue mine
A love that breaks through space and time
⸻
(Chorus – repeated with strength)
For God so loved the world, He gave
His only Son to light the way
That I might live and never die
A holy love, a sacrifice
You didn’t wait for me to run
You called me home through Your Son
And I’m alive because of love—
The kind that only comes from God
⸻
(Bridge – quiet, intimate moment)
No greater love I’ve ever known
Than Jesus dying to bring me home
The grave was shattered, the veil was torn
So I could know I’m Yours
⸻
(Final Chorus – full band/worship moment)
For God so loved the world, He gave
His only Son to light the way
That I might live and never die
A holy love, a sacrifice
You didn’t wait for me to run
You called me home through Your Son
And I’m alive because of love—
Yeah, I’m alive because of love—
The kind that only comes from God
⸻
(Outro – soft and reflective)
You so loved the world…
You so loved me.
